Paul Evans, from Shildon, is the mastermind behind the roaring weekend a year after he transformed Darlington Rugby Club into a thrilling monster truck extravaganza.

"It's just going to be a wonderful day out for everyone. It's going to be better than the show was last year," Paul told the Echo.

"It's a much better show field with better access and I want it to be double the size of the show we did in Darlington.

"I'm really looking forward to it - all we need is a drop of decent weather. I'd encourage everyone to come."
